TAG Media Group Chairman and InCharge Magazine Publisher Welcomes Leaders at the Embassy of Indonesia
Leadership was at the heart of the InCharge Magazine CEO Awards 2026, but before the distinguished awardees were called to the stage, the evening began with a message of gratitude, partnership, and a shared commitment to excellence from Andrew Troy Nicolas, Chairman of TAG Media Group and Publisher of InCharge Magazine.
Held on August 27, 2026, at the Embassy of Indonesia in Manila, the prestigious gathering brought together CEOs, business leaders, entrepreneurs, diplomats, government officials, public servants, and changemakers from various sectors.
As the event’s host organization, InCharge Magazine opened the celebration by recognizing not only the achievements of its awardees but also the partnerships that made the occasion possible.
In his welcome address, Andrew Troy Nicolas expressed his appreciation to the Embassy of Indonesia for its support and emphasized the importance of recognizing leaders whose work continues to move businesses and communities forward.
“Welcome, distinguished guests, CEOs, business leaders, and awardees!”
With these words, Nicolas formally welcomed the distinguished audience to an evening designed to celebrate leadership and achievement.
He continued by extending his gratitude to the Embassy of Indonesia:
“First off, thank you to the Embassy of Indonesia for the support to make this event possible.”
For Nicolas, the venue represented more than a prestigious setting. The Embassy of Indonesia provided a meaningful backdrop for an evening that celebrated both leadership and the longstanding friendship between the Philippines and Indonesia.
Celebrating More Than Achievements
In his speech, Nicolas emphasized that the CEO Awards were not simply about recognizing accomplishments.
“Tonight, we celebrate not only outstanding achievements, but also the vision, leadership, and determination that inspire businesses and communities to move forward.”
The message captured the central philosophy behind the InCharge Magazine CEO Awards.
Recognition, in this context, is not simply about what a leader has already achieved. It is also about the influence that person has on others—the ability to inspire teams, create opportunities, build organizations, strengthen communities, and contribute to national development.
For Nicolas and TAG Media Group, celebrating these stories is part of the role of media: to provide a platform for people whose work can inspire others.
A Message to the Awardees
Nicolas also directly congratulated the evening’s honorees, acknowledging the significance of their recognition.
“To all our awardees, congratulations on this well-deserved recognition.”
He then connected their individual achievements to the broader relationship between the Philippines and Indonesia:
“May you continue to inspire others and strengthen the bonds of friendship and cooperation between the Philippines and Indonesia.”
The message was particularly appropriate for an event held in celebration of Indonesia’s Independence Day.
The CEO Awards brought together leaders from different industries and nationalities, demonstrating how business, diplomacy, public service, creativity, and civic engagement can create opportunities for cooperation.
The Man Behind InCharge Magazine
As Chairman of TAG Media Group and Publisher of InCharge Magazine, Andrew Troy Nicolas has helped position the publication as a platform for recognizing leadership and excellence.
TAG Media Group publishes five print magazine titles—Rising Tigers Magazine, TopNewsAsia, Leading Women Magazine, EXQ, and InCharge Magazine—with nationwide distribution through National Book Store, Fully Booked, and select gasoline stations, supported by growing digital platforms.
Through its publications, the group continues to feature entrepreneurs, executives, public servants, diplomats, creative personalities, and community leaders whose stories reflect the changing landscape of Philippine leadership.
The CEO Awards represents an extension of that mission: taking the stories of leadership from the pages of the magazine and bringing the people behind those stories together in one room.
